Bill > HB2037

This bill modifies provisions related to the Missouri Ethics Commission, introducing several key changes. The bill requires political subdivisions to submit an annual attestation about their operating budget and mandates that certain offices provide a list of officials required to file financial interest statements. It updates the financial interest statement requirements, expanding the information that must be disclosed, including details about income, property, business interests, gifts, and travel expenses. The bill also clarifies filing deadlines and allows for supplemental filings. Additionally, it provides more detailed guidelines for how political subdivisions can establish their own conflict of interest disclosure methods. The bill revises the composition and operations of the Missouri Ethics Commission, including appointment procedures, term lengths, and restrictions on commission members. It also expands the commission's duties, giving it more authority to request information, conduct investigations, and provide advisory opinions. The changes aim to increase transparency and accountability in government by enhancing financial disclosure requirements and strengthening the ethics commission's oversight capabilities.
